About

You're Designing an Invitation to Sacred Ground Fixed Price | Expert Level Only | Delivers in 5 Days The Quest A multi-generational family sits on a stone terrace overlooking Bologna at golden hour. Wine. Laughter. Three generations. Ancient architecture glowing in amber light. The grandmother touches her granddaughter's hand and says: "This is ours. We come here every summer. Your children will too." That feeling—that moment—is what you're designing. Not an investment deck. Not a pitch. An invitation to own a piece of Europe that lasts. What We're Building Five slides. Each one a threshold. Each one a seduction. The First Slide: The image. That family on that terrace. The dream made visible. The feeling of "I want that" before a single word is read. The Second Slide: Proof it's real. A tired Portuguese pensão transformed into a boutique sanctuary. Here's what it cost. Here's what it makes. Here's what it's worth. Beauty and profit, married. The Third Slide: The mechanism. How this works. Find the properties aging owners are ready to sell. Renovate to boutique standard in 4-6 months. Operate with experienced European partners. You enjoy it. Your family builds memories. It appreciates while you use it. The Fourth Slide: Why we can deliver this. The team. The government partnerships that reduce renovation costs by 20-30%. The physician network that fills rooms. The 7 years of European relationships that find off-market properties. Credibility, earned. The Fifth Slide: Your invitation. €100,000 minimum. Returns and legacy. Both. Join us. This is for physicians who could invest in strip malls in Fresno. We're offering them palazzos in Bologna their grandchildren will visit. Your job is to make them feel that before they think about it. What You Understand You know the difference between: Selling and seducing. Stock photos and Slim Aarons. Corporate blue and golden hour amber. Helvetica and Garamond. A pitch deck and a love letter. You've designed for brands that matter—luxury hospitality, European travel, legacy wealth, high-end real estate. You understand that white space is not wasted space. You understand restraint. You can look at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo website and know exactly what we're after. You can watch the scene in Gladiator where Maximus's hand trails through golden wheat and think: "Yes. That's the feeling. That's home." You don't just arrange elements. You create longing. What You'll Receive A design brief that will be the best you've ever been given. Every slide detailed with exact content, design notes, mood references, and emotional architecture. Complete text for all five slides (you're designing, not writing) Color palette: warm stone, deep water, golden hour, cream Typography direction: Garamond headlines, Proxima Nova body, elegant restraint Photography style: natural light, authentic moments, European textures, no stock photo feel Midjourney prompts if you need AI-generated images The emotional arc: Desire → Proof → Mechanism → Credibility → Invitation This is not a guessing game. You'll know exactly what we want. Your brilliance is in the execution—in making five slides that change someone's life. What We Need Deliverables: PDF version (high-resolution, embedded fonts, email-ready) PowerPoint version (fully editable, for presenting) Keynote version (if presenting on Mac) Individual slides as JPEGs (high-res, for social/web use) Timeline: First draft: 48-72 hours from brief receipt Feedback from us: 24 hours (we're decisive) Final delivery: Within 5 days total Revisions: Two rounds included. We give clear, actionable feedback. We respect your expertise. We won't nickel-and-dime on details—if you nail the feeling, the pixels can be tweaked. How to Apply Three things. Nothing else. 1. One sentence on why this project excites you. Not why you're qualified. Why it excites you. What about this invitation to create an invitation makes you lean forward. 2. Three portfolio pieces that prove you can create this aesthetic. Luxury/legacy brands preferred Warm, sophisticated, European sensibility High-end hospitality work is ideal If you don't have exact matches, show us work that demonstrates emotional design, restraint, elegance 3. Your fixed price and realistic timeline for this full scope. All deliverables. Two revision rounds. Quote us honestly—what's this worth to create at the level we're demanding? Applications missing any of these three elements will be ignored. We're not looking for the most applicants. We're looking for the right one. What Success Looks Like A physician opens the deck. Slide 1: They see the family on the terrace and their breath catches. "I want that." Slide 2: They see the transformation, the numbers, and they nod. "This is real." Slide 3: They see the mechanism and they understand. "I see how this works." Slide 4: They see the team, the partnerships, the edge. "These people can deliver it." Slide 5: They read the invitation and their hand moves to their phone. "I need to be part of this." Then they email us. That's success. Not a beautiful deck that lives in a folder. A beautiful deck that funds the acquisition of 15th-century palazzos and creates memories across three generations. The Bigger Picture This is the first project. If you deliver exceptional work, there's more: We're building a collection of 15-18 European properties over 5 years. Each property needs marketing materials. Each investor meeting needs updated decks. Each city we enter needs launch materials. This could be the beginning of a long relationship. But first—prove you can make five slides that seduce someone into changing their life. One Final Thing Most designers will scroll past this because it's too long, too specific, too demanding. Good. We're not looking for most designers. We're looking for the designer who reads this and feels the pull. Who thinks: "Finally. A client who understands that design is seduction. A project that matters. A brief that doesn't insult my intelligence." We're looking for the designer who can make a physician stare at Slide 1 and whisper: "That's what I want. That's what I've always wanted." If that's you—if you understand that your work creates longing, not just layouts—then we want to hear from you.
